SLEEPLESSNESS
Part-mystery, part-documentary, part forensic investigation, Kaz Therese’s SLEEPLESSNESS is a quintessentially Australian story. Focused on three generations of Sydney women, the performance fuses drama and documentary, to throw light on the intergenerational impacts of institutionalisation and migration.
From Budapest 2003 to Sydney in 2022, Kaz Therese too on a profoundly personal 18-year journey to create SLEEPLESSNESS, uncovering family history, werewolf mythology, and bearded ladies. Fusing film, text and choreography, this acclaimed contemporary practitioner throws a fine light on the intergenerational impact of institutionalisation and migration.
